the united states is not going to just stand by. they have to overcome the pretty much resistance from other countries like russia and china in the united nations security council. but when it comes to iran, united states making it clear that they will do what they must, is what obama said, to stop iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. the iranians are saying well, we're not really striving to get nuclear weapons. so there's really not much to do on that front. but again, what are we expecting from president mahmood ahmadinejad? we got a bit of a preview yesterday in some comments that were really provocative when it comes to israel, and we expect perhaps some of that to continue in his speech later today. but again, watch very carefully for that speech. might get further clues about where iran stands at the moment. also, of course, it will be worth watching and tuning in to the israeli leader's speech. we'll have to see where this goesmz it's been a lot of rhetoric that's going on. the oil markets we'll be watching very closely. >>

basically, the inefficient use of some of the stimulus money in the united states really misallocated resources. we could have done a better job in terms of how we spent the money. again, even the president made fun of the fact that a lot of projects simply weren't shovel-ready. i think how we spend the money is very, very important overall. also, finally, i would just comment there is a budget constraint with respect to fiscal spen pentagon. so, as we saw in om of the european economies, spending more money when it's perceived that over the long run it's going to be more and more difficult for you to meet that budget constraint in term of paying that money back doesn't do you a lot of good in terms of perhaps a weaker dollar, a higher inflation expectations, higher real interest rate over time. so i think, again, i think the professor has it right. there are limits to fiscal policy, especially given the large debt to gdp rashs that we have in the united states. >> john, thank you for getting up for us this morning. steve horowitz will stay with us and we'll talk about a alternatives.
